Chile let me share this today I guess

Alright so here it is. I got the rent, the utilities and I just paid the car insurance but I ain’t got anything else. If you feel so kindly to pass me on anything to survive with (gas money for DoorDash, food to eat) it would be greatly appreciated.

feels like a good time to bring back this article I wrote about what literally goes into corsetry:

p.s. now that I'm nearly done with Black Widow WIP I may have time to write historical pieces for substack again 😊

When Ehren embarks on an international journey to search for his estranged family, the last thing he expects is to go to Hell.
Yet it is along Ehren's descent to the Underworld where he may find the love/belonging he’s always yearned for.

The only cost? His brother’s life.

An illustration created by me (LunaCWriting) of a woman and a man sharing an apple. The woman touches his hair while he holds her waist. His skin shows magical ice patterns where their hands touch.

An illustration created by me (LunaCwriting) of a woman in a red tee and a man in a blue shirt standing back-to-back on a tree-lined street, with petals floating in the air. It includes a title that reads: This is real, Isabel Benes by LunaCWriting.

A moodboard with 9 images. Top row: a blood moon; a woman head bowed in thought, silhouette framed in fire glow; someone presents a simple black mask, there are bright orange lights behind.
Middle row is the same sunrise from the first image.
Bottom row: Amita Suman as Inej Ghafa in Shadow and Bone, bathed in a blue green light, looking over her shoulder for danger, hair awry; middle image is of a sinister dark green forest; final image is Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark, half his face cast in shadow.
